0 trout. Beautiful weather. Seen several trout rising, but didn’t catch one.

Bright sunny day with just a few little clouds. Wind about 3Bft SE. I fished from the west bank and started with a wet and a buzzer under a strike indicator made out of yarn. I saw fish rising but beyond casting reach for me. I kept casting in the direction of the rises but I was about 30 feet short. When I noticed that trout was attacking my strike indicator, I changed to a bushy black dry and I got one serious strike, wich I managed to miss because I tried to set the hook by lifting the rod in stead of striking it with my fly line in the water and keeping contact that way. So, I didn’t land any fish, but I had a great day casting and one big adrenaline rush from a violent strike and all that in a stunning scenery.

(NB 11th June not my booking.) An enjoyable day between the showers , little fly life showing , only a couple of fish rose .
Hard going, however my fishing partner took 3 good WBT 12-14 inches.
Will be back

Great fishing as always but have heard of several instances of poaching at Talybont. Have found thick mono on the banks in a couple of locations which would suggest either night lines being set up or people spinning/worming. Always keep an eye out when I’m up there but might be worth asking NRW to also look into it but aware they are very under resourced.

No fish caught - only fished for an hour before being blown off the reservoir by really strong winds and heavy rain, bit of waste of time and mis-spent funds. Not clear why in the case of Talybont why the Wye & Usk charge 30% of the fee as an admin cost (booking fee)... If this is just to raise money for W&U then just say so versus passing this off as a booking/admin fee which has been out ruled in most organisations. Instead of book fee call it W&U funding contribution, I'd be happy with that.
WUF Note: The Fishing Passport is non-profit making and any fees are to cover the costs of running a booking office, credit card charges, website etc. They are not a Wye & Usk Foundation funding contribution.

Fantastic scenery but no fish this time. Will be back.

Weather overnight changed so poor conditions in the morning. After lunch improved a little but wasn’t until late in afternoon saw several fish rising. No luck but easy to get too and pleasant day fishing.

No fish again. It's me not the Reservoir.
